An incredibly special trip that I won’t forget! Deeply replenishing spiritually and physically. The instruction was amazing and the perfect balance of gentle and educational. I have never been more peaceful and relaxed. So grateful for the experience and cannot say enough positive things about the retreat.

Beautiful week with Lila and Katie. Lila is a compassionate communicator, and her knowledge of the body/mind connection is invaluable. I hope to return next year. Mar de Jade is a wonderful space to connect.

I had a wonderful retreat ! Lila and Katie are great teachers . Mae de Jade was an amazing venue for the Journey to the Heart retreat . I’m already looking forward to going to the retreat again next year … Thanks 🙏💙 Kurt

My experience at the “Journey to the Heart” Pilates and Movement Retreat with Katie and Lila was exactly the nourishing and restorative trip that I needed. From the moment my and I arrived, the breathtaking beauty of the Mar de Jade retreat center created the perfect container for rest, reflection, and renewal. It is truly one of the most beautiful places on earth. Katie and Lila curated the retreat with such thoughtfulness and care. Each class felt calming, nourishing, and deeply restorative—accessible yet powerful in the way they encouraged us to tune into our bodies. Their teaching style created a space that felt supportive, grounding, and inspiring, and I especially appreciated the opportunity to take time for breathing and journaling each morning. The journal prompts helped me to reflect in ways I hadn’t expected and opened up conversations within our group that were honest, heartfelt, and deeply connecting. If you ever have the opportunity to attend “Journey to the Heart” with Katie and Lila, take it—you’ll come home with a full heart, meaningful connections, and a renewed sense of self.

A magical week for, for me, the sixth or seventh time. Lila and Katie are each gifted in their own way and together created something incredibly special. A beautiful place, fantastic food, warm and interesting people, and physically and emotionally restorative.
